Beautifully put Michael. It feels like there is much truth in what you’re saying. I do believe that the soul – infused with karma and dark energy – does live on, but that said, I think it has the possibility of transmuting on the other side of this material veil as well. Good point about raw life energy being pure and positive. Thanks for writing:)

I do not think that the evil in a person like Osama Bin Laden would have been reconciled by a life sentence in jail. I deeply appreciate your universal love for humanity, but do not let that perspective dilute the practical clarity a love-filled heart needs in order to be wary of evil in this mortal world we live in. A man who is pleased and unremorseful after manifesting the mass-murder of innocent people is not going to rehabilitate himself or transform after profound self-reflection. However, the killing of that person is not simply retribution or karma. Let me explain my thoughts further…

I simply do not agree with the perspective you suggested about evil energy that we must contend with after he is dead. The energy was evil only because he chose to manifest it that way. Now that he is dead, the energy is… just energy.

The energy of the universe is pure. Good and evil are human, mortal consequences. As human beings we transform the pure energy of the universe into good, or (unfortunately) evil. No baby is ever born on planet earth to begin a life with the human characteristics of hate or prejudice in their heart or mind.

I think there are some instinctive powers of nature that gives us (and other living things) a tendency towards ethnocentricity and a self-preserving innate fear of things unfamiliar, but that’s about it. Those natural human instincts are actually pathways for evil to infiltrate the mind of an otherwise good-hearted human being.

It is sad that any human being would choose to use the energy of life for purposes of evil, especially in the context of the fractional second we are alive here on earth in galactic terms.

There is no joy in one human taking the life of another, but I hope you and your daughter find some solace in the fact that when a human being is so consumed with using life energy in evil ways such as to commit acts of murder, the person (or people) responsible for that evil energy need to be quite literally extinguished.

“Why?” Because if evil energy goes unchecked, it will expand and grow and that leads to days like September 11th. Thankfully, energy that is positive and good, expands and grows the same way.

I am not happy that we (the nation of the United States) had to kill Osama Bin Laden yesterday, but I am happy he is dead… Because it ends the evil he was continuing to manifest here on earth. He transformed his life energy into an extraordinary amount of evil… Not only through actions, but also by continuing to promote and symbolically endorse those ideologies of hatred, prejudice and fear… Projecting that evil energy into the hearts of many young men and women. That evil continues to exist today, but it will now require those individuals to manifest it with other like-minded individuals and from within themselves. Unfortunately, some surely will.

As human beings, we must collectively (every nation, religion and ethnicity) choose to disallow anyone to perpetuate ideologies of hatred, prejudice and fear. That is something worthy of our prayers and actions if you want to help transform this world into a better place than you found it.

I will teach my children to understand that the energy of life is pure, but as humans, each of us has the power to use it for good or evil.
